汶川8.0级地震陡坎(北川以北段)探槽的记录特征

汶川8.0级地震在龙门山中央断裂(北川-映秀断裂)上形成了长度约240km的地震地表破裂带,同时在前山断裂(灌县-江油断裂)上形成了长约72km的地震地表破裂带。我们在中央断裂北段(北川以北)的地震陡坎上开挖探槽,揭露了本次地震的构造变形特征,同时通过对探槽内所揭露地层的相互关系的讨论,以及邻近区域内地貌面的对比,认为该段断裂在本次汶川8.0级地震之前可能还存在一次震级相当的地震事件,其发生时间至少早于该区域内T1阶地形成的最新年龄3000 a     

1988年云南澜沧-耿马地震的烈度分布及地表破裂

1988年11月6日,在云南省西南部的澜沧-耿马断裂带上发生了两次大于7级的地震.地震造成的严重破坏和人员伤亡主要是由于极震区内抗震性能极差的毛石房、砖柱土坯房的大量倒塌所致.澜沧地震的震中基本烈度可达Ⅸ度,耿马地震极震区烈度达Ⅹ度.澜沧地震构造活动的地表证据主要是出现在极震区内的张性地裂缝带和小断层陡坎.地裂缝带和小断坎主要出现在四条相对连续的北北西走向的狭窄地带内,其长度从几百 m 到6km 不等.澜沧地震地表破裂带长约35km,宽约3km,最大垂直位移量和最大右旋水平位移量分别为1.5m 和1.4m.耿马地震地表断裂活动的明显证据包括一系列北北西走向的地裂缝带和一段长约5km的地震断层陡坎.耿马地震地表破裂带长约24km,其最大垂直位移3.5m,最大右旋水平位移为3m.两次地震形成的地表破裂带均具有右旋-正断层性质.本文讨论了这两次地震的 度分布及地表破裂特征.      

成都平原内汶川Ms8.0级地震的地表变形

2008年5月12日汶川8.0级大地震发生在青藏高原东缘龙门山推覆构造带上,除映秀—北川断裂、灌县—江油断裂上各形成240 km和72 km 长的地表破裂带外,可能在成都平原西部的什邡市师古镇附近形成一条弱地表破裂带.成都平原内的地震地表破裂带与龙门山区的2条地震破裂带构成倾向北西的叠瓦状逆断裂地震地表破裂系统.野外调查发现,师古镇南肖家院—庆云庵建筑物严重破坏带、水渠跌水、地表褶皱、喷砂和地裂缝带走向30°,延伸长度约7.5 km.探槽开挖表明,地表地震褶皱陡坎下的地层发生弯曲变形,汶川地震使断层上盘的地面和最新地层褶皱隆起0.2 m.TC2探槽中的粘土层底面褶皱隆起0.4 m,它可能记录到汶川地震之前另外一次与汶川地震大小相当的古地震事件.浅层地震勘探资料表明,平原区出现地震地表破裂的位置不仅存在晚更新世活动断裂,而且伴生有第四纪活动褶皱.     

党河南山北缘断裂古地震形变带特征研究

通过对党河南山北缘断裂的野外地貌考察,发现东段保存了长约40km的古地震地表形变带,主要表现为纹沟和高漫滩断错,形成高约0.5m左右的低矮断层陡坎,且活动时代较新.经查阅相关史料和文献,结合最新冲积地貌面的估算年代,推测该地震形变带可能与公元384年、419年、1000年和1297-1303年发生在敦煌附近的4次地震中的某一次地震有关.     

山西太谷断裂带全新世活动及其与1303年洪洞8级地震的关系

最新调查结果表明，太谷断裂断错山前冲沟Ⅰ级阶地以及在黄土台地前缘形成断坎，在地表及探槽中多处见到断裂断错全新世地层，断裂的最新活动是1303年洪洞8级地震，活动方式为右旋走滑兼正倾滑活动. 在该次地震中，太谷断裂与灵石隆起上的绵山西侧断裂、临汾盆地东边界的霍山山前断裂一起活动，形成长约160 km的地表破裂带. 除此之外，该断裂曾在全新世中期及距今7 700年以后有过活动. 由此得到，在山西断陷系，两个断陷盆地边界断裂的贯通活动发生8级特大大震.      

滇西南地区黑河断裂西段古地震形变带特征

位于滇西南地区的黑河断裂从西向东可分为沧源-木戛、木戛-南代和南代-勐往3条次级断裂段,长约168km,性质以右旋走滑为主,兼具倾滑分量。通过较详细的野外追踪考察,发现该断裂西段即沧源-木戛段存在从雪林大寨以西至木戛长12km以上、北西向断续展布的古地震形变带,主要表现为基岩裂缝、田埂和山坡等右旋扭动显示的右旋断错,断错量0.5—2m,同时还形成了高0.5—1m的断层陡坎。陡坎的垂直位错是断层倾滑运动分量引起的,而地形效应和重力作用也有一定影响。从这些地表形变带的断错地层、陡坎形态等分析,认为是同1次地震活动的结果,经调查访问其不是1988年澜沧7.6级地震的地表形变带,而是时代相对较新的未知年代的古地震形变带。经探槽开挖和样品年代测试,确认其时间介于(1400±30)a.B.P.—(1714±49)a.B.P.之间。根据走滑型地震的震级与同震位错的经验统计关系,估算该次地震的矩震级≥7级,这与该断裂中段即木戛-南代段发生的1988年澜沧MS7.6级地震相当。

甘肃酒西盆地发现地震地表破裂带

根据航、卫片解译和野外实地考察,在位于祁连山—河西走廊西段的酒西盆地白杨河背斜北发现1条较新的地震破裂带遗迹,破裂带长度约5km,呈弧形展布,保存较为完整,在最新的洪积扇面上陡坎高度约0.5~0.7m,在冲沟T1阶地上陡坎高度约1.5m,分析认为其为较新的1次地震活动所致。沿断层陡坎探槽开挖表明,此次破裂带形成于约1500aBP,此前断裂还有过活动。根据该地区历史地震资料考证和研究程度,认为该地震地表破裂带可能与365年玉门地震、1785年玉门惠回堡地震或1次漏记的历史强地震有关。     

渭河断裂杨家村—窑店段展布及晚第四纪活动特征

渭河断裂杨家村—窑店段西起杨家村,经魏家泉、金家庄、东耳村、陈家台,到达窑店,走向NE,倾向S,长约33km,为同生正断层,沿渭河北岸I级、Ⅱ级、Ⅲ级阶地前、后缘展布。遥感解译、浅层地震探测、探槽、钻孔联合剖面结果表明,渭河断裂杨家村—窑店段在咸阳附近的渭河北岸阶地表现为断层陡坎,与NE向阶地坎重合;断裂在晚更新世晚期至全新世可能仍有活动。渭河断裂杨家村—窑店段自(46.0±3.3)ka以来断距较大,在11.0~16.5m之间;垂直滑动速率在0.34~0.45mm/a之间;断裂最新活动时间约为2.0ka BP。金家庄左阶斜裂区将渭河断裂杨家村—窑店段划分为杨家村—金家庄段和东耳村—窑店段。     

酒西盆地白杨河断裂古地震特征研究

白杨河断裂是酒西盆地内部一条重要的活动断裂,断裂长约25 km,整体走向近EW,倾向N,倾角约25°。以往的研究认为白杨河断裂为一条全新世活动的隐伏断裂,其持续的活动造成了上覆阶地变形,形成白杨河背斜。通过卫星影像解译和野外实地考察,在断裂西段和中段发现连续发育的低断层陡坎,表明断裂活动已至地表。古地震探槽揭露白杨河断裂全新世以来至少发生过2次地震事件,年代分别为距今(8.7±0.6)ka和(3.9±0.5)ka,每次地震事件的垂直断距都在约0.6 m,利用经验公式,估算震级约为6.8级。     

河西走廊黑河口断层上的古地震及年代研究

本文从活断层地貌,断层作用的相关沉积特征,断层面物质受地震作用以后的物理变化等方面讨论了黑河口断层晚第四纪以来发生的古地震期次。并用钙土壤、地貌陡坎演化等相对年代方法,结合一些实验室样品年代,确定古地震发生的年代。结果表明:黑河口断层晚第四纪以来发生过四次古地震事件,一次发生在距今约25000年,另三次发生在距今13000、10500和8500年左右,为不均等间隔。本文还为干旱、半干旱区相对年代方法提供了区域“经验”关系     

邙山东侧地貌陡坎与老鸦陈断层活动性关系讨论

地貌陡坎的成因有许多种, 其中之一是由断层在新构造时期的活动造成。 因此, 地貌陡坎的存在可能指示了断层在新生代的活动性, 然而在运用地貌线性方法判定新生代以来断层活动的时候还需要有其他资料的相互验证, 否则可能得到相反的结论。 该文以邙山东侧陡坎与老鸦陈断层为例, 通过遥感影像解释、 中浅层地震探测、 联合钻孔对比、 地貌测量等方法, 得到了老鸦陈断层是一条倾向NE向的前第四纪正断层, 同时将陡坎分为三段, 陡坎总体走向NW—NWW向, 由北而南, 高差逐渐降低, 出郑州东南后消失。 分析两者之间的关系, 认为古黄河改道或其支流侵蚀切割形成邙山东侧陡坎, 与老鸦陈断层没有直接关系, 陡坎的形成时间不应早于晚更新世。     

Monitoring degradation of the 1995 Nojima earthquake fault scarps at Awaji Island, southwestern Japan

The Nojima fault on the northwestern coast of Awaji Island, south of Kobe, was reactivated during the January 17, 1995 Hyogoken-nanbu earthquake. This fault rupture was dominated by right-lateral offset (max. 1.7 m) along a high-angle reverse fault which has a maximum vertical displacement of 1.3 m on the southeastern side. We repeatedly measured seven profiles across the fault scarp in two areas (Hirabayashi to the northeast and Ogura to the southwest) for approximately 1 year following the earthquake. The original profile of the fault scarp was an overhanging scarp at Hirabayashi and Ogura, corresponding to the 70–80 ° dip of the fault plane. The fault scarp at Hirabayashi displaces Plio-Pleistocene siltstones of the Osaka Group and is overlain by a thin bed of unconsolidated gravel. The Ogura area is entirely underlain by the Osaka Group. Scarp degradation at Hirabayashi occurred by collapse of the gravel bed and proceeded more quickly than at Ogura, where fault scarp degradation proceeded mainly by exfoliation of the Osaka Group siltstones. The degradation occurred at a very fast rate until March at Hirabayashi, and until June or July at Ogura. Since then, the degradation has been very slow. Our data strongly indicate that the scarp profile was initially controlled mainly by the dip of the fault plane, and scarp degradation has been primarily controlled by lithological factors. The degradation of the Nojima earthquake fault scarp proceeded much more quickly than that of normal fault scarps in the western U.S.A., where many observations of the initial stages of scarp degradation have been carried out. The extremely rapid degradation of the Nojima fault scarp in weak late Neogene siltstones might, in combination with rapid cultural modification of the landscape, explain the paucity of geomorphic scarps along the numerous active faults in Japan. This observation may also have implications for tectonic geomorphology and paleoseismicity studies in other countries characterised by weak bedrock and moderate to high rainfall regimes.     

乌鲁木齐王家沟断层组地表变形特征及强变形带宽度

王家沟断层组断错了中更新世砾石台地及王家沟东岸的Ⅲ级阶地,地貌形迹非常清晰,地表变形现象主要表现为地震断层、断层陡坎和挤压鼓包等。根据不同地貌面上跨断层测量获得的一系列实测数据,得到王家沟Ⅲ级阶地上的地表陡坎高度为0.4～1.6m,最大变形带宽度为50m左右; 中更新世台地上的陡坎高度多为1.5～5.0m,最大变形带宽度为90m左右。利用探槽开挖揭露出的断层位置与地表强变形带测量剖面的叠加对比,初步确定王家沟断层组上、下盘之间变形宽度的比例为2:1左右,并由此讨论了王家沟断层组上、下盘的 "避让带"宽度问题。     

正倾滑活动断裂垂直位移定量研究中相关问题的讨论

当探槽开挖长度未跨过断层变形带时，得到的断层垂直位移将偏离断层活动的真实情况，在缺少依据帮助确定断层陡坎原始下坡角的具体位置时，通过断层陡坎高度获得的断层垂直位移也将与实际情况有较大的偏离，文中对此进行了讨论。并讨论了应用断层两侧近水平地层累积变位量的分解确定古地震事件期次的方法，以及探槽剖面中断层两侧同层地层厚度差异是断层活动事件的反映等问题。引用了内蒙古大青山山前断裂和狼山山前断裂、北京平原夏垫断裂和南口－孙河断裂及日本丹那断层探槽开挖的实例。     

山东汤头断层全新世右旋走向滑动的新证据

汤头断层的断层陡坎长36公里,坎高1至3米,东升西降。断层陡坎与白垩系砂岩和太古界片麻岩之间的断层位置大致吻合。汤头断层居泉庄处,长1.1公里范围内,有12条近东西向冲沟被三条左阶羽列断层右旋扭错,出现冲沟直角扭曲及断头断尾现象,扭错距离3至25米。断层的扭错量中间大,两端小。位于一冲沟水平扭错处距现今沟底2米处淤泥层的发现,表明该断层的最新走滑活动发生在距今3681年以后     

Micro Landform Extraction Based on UAV Photography Technology?Taking Kunzhong Fault (Balong Wenquan Section) as An Example

用地貌学方法研究贺兰山山前断层全新世活动状况

本文根据穿过断层的45条冲沟中的裂点和阶地测量资料,论述贺兰山山前断层全新世以来的活动状况。我们认为全新世以来该断层至少有8次活动。最后一次断层活动错断了距今400年的长城,并在冲沟中形成一个裂点,该裂点现今已距断层陡坎约5米远。假定这次断层活动和1739年平罗大地震有关,求出裂点的溯源侵蚀平均速度为2.0—2.5厘米/年.根据两裂点间的距离和裂点的溯源侵蚀平均速度,并考虑到我国近5000年的气候有逐渐变干的趋势,求出断层活动的周期(表3)。从断层陡坎附近的各级阶地面之间的高差,求出断层各次活动的幅度(表4)。     

宁夏卫宁北山南缘断层探测与活动性初步鉴定

宁夏卫宁北山位于青藏高原、阿拉善和鄂尔多斯3大活动地块的交汇地带,查清该地区的活断层对厘清活动地块边界和规划中卫工业园区布局均具有重要意义。采用浅层地震勘探、钻孔联合剖面探测及槽探等手段,针对卫宁北山南缘推测断层开展综合探测,以便查清该断层展布情况和地层断错特征,并结合区域地层时代对比,初步鉴定已探明断层的活动性。结果表明：前人推测的地貌陡坎之下的卫宁北山南缘正断层并不存在,而在卫宁北山南缘地貌陡坎偏北基岩内发育一条逆冲断层,浅层地震勘探剖面揭示该断层上断点埋深35～40 m,钻孔联合剖面探测和槽探发现断层错断了石炭系和新近系,但未错断上覆的上更新统,表明该断层不是活动断层;另外,浅层地震剖面揭示在中卫盆地内部还发育一条北西西向的隐伏正断层,上断点埋深约60 m,但也未错动晚更新世以来地层,因而推测该断层不存在晚第四纪活动性。     

INTERPRETATION AND ANALYSIS OF THE FINE FAULT GEO-METRY BASED ON HIGH-RESOLUTION DEM DATA DERIVED FROM UAV PHOTOGRAMMETRIC TECHNIQUE: A CASE STUDY OF TANGJIAPO SITE ON THE HAIYUAN FAULT

Fault-related tectonic geomorphologic features are integrated expressions of multiple strong seismological events and long-term surface processes, including crucial information about strong earthquake behavior of a fault. It's of great significance to identify the strong seismic activity information from faulted landscapes, which include the date and sequence of the seismic activities, displacements, active fault features, for studying the seismic rupture process, predicting the future seismic recurrence behavior and evaluating the seismic hazard of the fault. However, due to the restriction of measuring techniques and the subsequent poor quality of the acquired data, it has been difficult to accurately extract such information from complex tectonic landforms to study active faults for a long time. Recently, "small Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(sUAV)" photogrammetric technique based on "Structure from Motion(SfM)" provides a cost-efficient and convenient access to high-resolution and high-accuracy "digital elevation models(DEMs)" of tectonic landforms. This paper selects the Tangjiapo area at the Haiyuan Fault to conduct data collection, in which the structural and geomorphic features are well preserved. Using a small quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle(Inpire 2), we collect 1598 aerial photographs with a coverage area of 0.72km². For calibrating the accuracy of the aerial data, we set 10 ground control points and use differential-GPS to obtain the spatial coordinates of these control points. We use model software Agisoft PhotoScan to process these digital pictures, obtaining high-resolution and high-accuracy DEM data with the geographic information, in which data resolution is 2.6cm/pix and the average density of point cloud is 89.3 point/m². The data with these accuracy and resolution can fully show the real geomorphic features of the landform and meet the requirements for extracting specific structural geomorphic information on the surface. Through the detailed interpretation of the tectonic landforms, we identify a series of structures associated with the strike-slip fault and divide the alluvial fan into four stages, named s₁, s₂, s₃, and s₄, respectively.Wherein, the s₁ is the latest phase of the alluvial fan, which is in the extension direction of the Haiyuan Fault and there isn't any surface fracture, indicating that the s₁ was formed after the M8.5 Haiyuan earthquake in 1920. The rupture zone on the s₂ fan is composed of varied kinds of faulting geomorphologic landforms, such as a series of en echelon tension-shear fractures trending 270°~285°, fault scarps and seismic ridges caused by the left-lateral motion of the seismic fault. In addition, a number of field ridges on the s₂ fan were faulted by the 1920 Haiyuan M8.5 earthquake, recording the co-seismic displacements of the latest earthquake event. Relatively speaking, the surface rupture structure of the s₃ fan is simple, mainly manifested as linear fault scarp with a trend of 270°~285°, which may indicate that multiple earthquakes have connected the different secondary fractures. And a small part of s₄ fan is distributed in the southwest of the study area without fault crossing. Furthermore, we measured the horizontal displacements of river channels and vertical offsets of fault scarps. The faulted ridge on the s₂ fan and faulted gully on the s₃ fan provide good linear markers for obtaining the fault left-lateral dislocation. We used the graphical dislocation measurement software LaDiCaoz developed based on Matlab to restore the gully position before the earthquake by comparing the gully morphology on both sides of the fault, and then determined the horizontal offset of s₂, which is(4.3±0.4)m and that of s₃ is(8.6±0.6)m. In addition, based on the DEM data, we extracted the fault scarp densely along the fault strike, and obtained the vertical offset of s₂, which is(4.3±0.4)m and that of s₃ is(1.79±0.16)m. Moreover, we detect slope breaks in the fault scarp morphology. For compound fault scarps generated by multiple surface rupture earthquakes, there are multiple inflection points on the slope of the topographic section, and each inflection point represents a surface rupture event. Therefore, the slope break point on the scarp becomes an important symbol of multiple rupture of the fault. The statistical result shows that the slope breaks number of s₂ is 1 and that of s₃ is 2. Based on the analysis of horizontal displacements of river channels and vertical offsets of fault scarps as well as its slope breaks, two surface rupturing events can be confirmed along the Tangjiapo area of the Haiyuan Fault. Among them, the horizontal and vertical displacements of the older event are(4.3±0.95)m and(0.85±0.22)m, respectively, while that of the latest event are(4.3±0.4)m and(0.95±0.14)m, which are the coseismic horizontal and vertical offsets of the 1920 Haiyuan earthquake. These recognitions have improved our cognitive level of the fine structure of seismic surface rupture and ability to recognize paleoearthquake events. Therefore, the high-resolution topographic data obtained from the SfM photogrammetry method can be used for interpretation of fine structure and quantitative analysis of microgeomorphology. With the development of research on tectonic geomorphology and active tectonics toward refinement and quantification, this method will be of higher use value and practical significance.
